Not British, but it is from Europe.

Apologies for the very late reply, I forgot this was here.

It's not from Belgium but from a neighbouring country.

I think the car dates from around 1920.

Sorry chaps, it's not an ABLE, an Ajam, or a T.A.M.

It's a very obscure make and features an air cooled inline 4 cylinder engine and an incredibly complex transmission.
